Divorce: Navigating the Systemic Shift
Untangling the Past, Architecting the Future
Divorce is one of the most significant "life transitions" a human can experience. It is rarely just the end of a legal contract; it is a profound restructuring of your identity, your family system, and your future. In my practice, I provide a courageous and neutral space to navigate the overwhelm of uncoupling with dignity, curiosity, and emotional intelligence.
Honoring the Complexity of the Split
Whether you are in the initial stages of discernment or are navigating the aftermath of a finalized decree, we address the layers of the transition:
The Grief Cycle: Moving through the shock, anger, and deep sorrow of the "death" of a shared dream.
Co-Parenting Systems: Using Systems Theory to build a functional, healthy bridge between two homes, ensuring that the children’s needs remain central during the shift.
Identity Re-Formation: Answering the question, "Who am I outside of this 'we'?" and rediscovering your agency and voice.
A Clinical Approach to Uncoupling
With over 20 years of experience, I support individuals and couples through the various stages of divorce:
Discernment Counseling: A specialized space for couples who are "on the brink"—helping you decide with clarity whether to commit to repair or to begin the process of uncoupling.
EFT & Attachment Repair: Even in divorce, understanding your attachment styles can prevent "high-conflict" cycles and help you move through the process without further trauma.
Spiritual Deconstruction & Divorce: For those in religious or spiritual communities, divorce can bring a secondary layer of spiritual trauma or disillusionment. My background (M.Div/PhD) allows us to hold these spiritual questions alongside the clinical ones.
Transitioning with Integrity
I have a "special love" for working with high-profile "healers"—pastors and therapists—navigating divorce. I understand the unique pressure of maintaining a professional "helping" role while your personal system is in flux.
Divorce does not have to be a story of destruction. It can be a story of evolution, boundary-setting, and the courageous pursuit of a more authentic life.

Seaford Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, M.Ed, LCMHC
Nobody likes divorce. It's never easy. However, I'd love to make it easier for you. Whether it's your parents who are splitting up or if it's your own marriage dissolving, I'd love to help you through the transition. It's true that I do a lot of marriage counseling, and I do love helping couples work things out. However, I also know that staying married isn’t always the best option for every couple. And in those cases, I am more than happy to help you find a path through to the other side.

Dr. Cierra Listermann
Psychologist, Ph.D., HSP-P
Divorce can bring feelings of grief, rejection, uncertainty, anger, and loss of identity, especially when the relationship involved emotional harm, betrayal, conflict, or past trauma. I help clients process the emotional impact of divorce, understand how their experiences have shaped their beliefs about themselves and relationships, rebuild confidence, and move forward with a stronger sense of self.
